Suppose George Washington Carver, Madam C.J. Walker, Garrett Morgan, and Percy Julian are known for touching every life with their technological advancements in the last millennia. In that case, these Black Engineer of the Year Award (BEYA) winners are some of history’s most innovative people. These trailblazing scientists and engineers include the architect of the modern-day personal computer, a pioneer in the field of digital cellular communication, and the inventor of technologies that allow The Walt Disney Company to create new magic, illusions, and entertainment. The list of educators runs from the first Black female at one of America’s oldest engineering institutions to the man credited with producing more Black engineers than any other person in the history of U.S. higher education.
